You want to compare maturity? Who is more mature?

The person who knows themselves and posts as they are, regardless of public opinion.

Or

The person who spends their time crafting a persona in a digital world based on respect of other digital people who mean close to nothing.

I'll go with the first one. Every time.

You seem to think that everybody is a rude asshat like you, and they are just "forging a persona" here... well... how to put it more or less nicely...

Reality check... most people are able to communicate in "real life" without insulting each other, without aggression. If you can't, you are the minority. And many of those people just communicate the same way on Internet, unless attacked by pricks like you of course, nobody here is jesus.

Seems to me like it's you who hides behind a screen like a coward to be a nuisance on the Internet. Most people are able to communicate on the Internet just like they do in "real life", in a civilized way. But of course, it only takes a couple of sociopaths to wreak havoc and ruin a community if there's no appropriate moderation behind.

Once again, you try to blame others for your own weaknesses. Pot, kettle, etc... the fun continues!

You guys have been circling each other for years, anyway.

C'mon, put those gloves up!

You say the same shit over and over like it's going to just go POOF and be true.

Reality check...it won't.

Sadly, this has only very little chance to happen. Would be fun.

I will say that over the last couple years I noticed a lot people with thin skin coming out of the woodwork. Probably the same amount as always, but it seemed like people could take a few more punches back in the day.

Aye, it's called "Sunday Schoolification". Phrase trademarked by Mithan.

A quite good assessment, even though age doesn't automatically means maturity - everything when downhill on the net when every retard could plug a modem and get access to it, and that was indeed between 2000 and 2005. Anonymity + audience = asshat.

Thing is the audience changed for the worse - and what worked in the 2000s, low moderation and adult behavior, doesn't work anymore nowadays (and since a few years already). You can't use the same moderation methods today than those you used ten years ago. If you don't slap the kiddies on the hand hard quickly, they take over your board and make everybody else leave.
